Is it supposed to be for any use case? Like gaming, content creation? (As in should I tailor the build towards one of those use cases)

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Just now, Daniel Z. said:

it has to have acceptable PSU like at least tier 4

I would love to meet that guy that builds a PC with a 7900X, dual 1080 Ti cards in SLI and a Logisys PSU.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
